According to the survey, "Empolis (...) possesses a deep understanding of complex big data scenarios and, from a technological perspective, noticeably stands out from the competition. Few of the companies under consideration can currently claim to have reference customers in Germany, with the clear exception of Empolis. Moreover, using its semantic content analysis, Empolis is pursuing an especially advanced approach. The use of semantic analysis in big data analytics is pioneering."
"For us, the Experton study clearly indicates that we are leading the way with our semantic big data technologies. Empolis was already working with big data before the term even existed. It has, therefore, been to our advantage that we have already been working with and for our customers on this topic for a long time and so have been able to amass the corresponding expertise in this area," says Empolis CEO Dr. Stefan Wess.
139 companies were originally considered for the Big Data Vendor Benchmark with 68 companies ultimately being included in the review (according to the Experton definition of big data solutions and solution components).
